<< 5. starflyer 59- "old" >>
Now *there's* an interesting inclusion. I just don't get this band. I've even seen them live three or four times and they just bore me into coma. But I've heard this album is quite different from their others, yes?
They're truly a studio band that should just give up touring. It's as though they try to sabotage both their appeal, and their audience's good time. "Old" is outstanding, because it finds them moving even further away from the shoegazey sound into a more "dark eighties pop" vibe (factory recs, daniel amos, echo and the bunnymen, the church, etc.). andrew
